You are a server-operator? You wrecked yourself and restarted server? Wish I could time-travel, as well. If I read-it worng (not even touching the AK switching to a DMR.), appolgies.

Does this happen whenplaying MP in Arma2 OA(or even hosting an MPevent)? If you just bought Arma 2, did you play one round of each (Arma 2 and OA)?

Ace story! :beans: I feel the same as you when simple-questions go unanswered. They were even too scared to say they were out to get-you. :emptycan: (could've been just the one..but people do team for a reason..2-on-1 would be one of them) edit- INickeragua. Best signiture ever!

DayZ creators,nor this forum have the 'powah' to do what you ask. I'd suggest heading over to that lame excuse BattlEye and/or email BIS

It's all good. Taste better than a grilled z-steak Found an MRE lastnight.Thought it was a 10lbs bag of explosives or perhaps cement :blush: Looks huge!

and renaming the 'clean' exe to .exeold and draggingthe beta exe from the Expansions<Beta folder wouldn't work for this instance? :(

ctrl+a in msg. ctrl+v in notepad.exe?

Odd angle. Perhaps installing the @CBA mod. I thought DayZ was made using stuff from 'ere?

Perhaps a program like CCleaner would help. Is your 'swap-file' os-controlled? idk on mine, I shut it off! SSD ftw Albeit, SSD doesn't make any game faster, it does make the O/S 'faster'...thus giving a feeling that every game is faster.

Sounds like a registry/.cfg setting. Perhaps checking your Arma 2 folder in my documents. Right click<edit various .cfg files. Perhaps ctrl+f<fullscreen to speed the process up. Been having similar issues but after clicking on app from taskbar, I'd alt+tab and cycle to Arma 2. That would get me back into fullscreen.

Have you tried using alt+tab to 'cycle' to Arma 2, after 'clicking' into the game from taskbar?. Makes it go back-to full-screen for me.

Only thing I was required to do was to run Arma 2, one-time, through Steam THEN install your mods (like DayZ). Sounds like your OS/PC/System hasn't the registry entries, yet. Have you tried to"verify local cahce/content" from within Steam?

Perhaps something new. Exploit wouldn't have animation to go with it, would it?

Odd, I've never had .pbo issues using Play withSix B) Wiki suggest mostly pieman already has but there's some more-detail, in regards to Steam overlay. Does DayZ Commander save mods/add-ons to your Steams Arma install or something like my documents?

This is like console gaming in the 80's. Too many versions of the same game :P What, if any, would be different between one mod downloaded from the makers-site and one downloaded through DayZ Commander? (or for pov-sake, Play withSix) I believe there should not be one bit or byte that is different!

Do a search for Arma 2 OA mods. Modules like the Advanced Combat Enviroment allows all-sorts of crazy. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=15127

Ibelieve the first couple of linkswill answer as well as any other, around here ;)

Phrases like Single Player, Campaign, Armory, Boot Camp come to mind but. Just dont ask what 'key' for jump, eh :P "<" ">" change "channels" and / is the chat-line-thang. holding cap locks turns on your mic for ingame comms but Id recoomend NOT talking if sidechannel, just direct. Heard whispers that it'll lag the server and everybody goes full-retard when someone talks on side :lol:

Looking at the Server description, I went to the unban request on ThePantless.com . Don't let this one server, admin or scriptlette-slanger be your only DayZ experience. Tons of servers. Key words "Private Hive White Listed"

Not liking seeing people chat 'hey, lets team, lets go here,there. found this/that' Liking the thought if I had a ingame radio and some batteries, I could 'chatter' up with others with radios,asking where to find more batteries. ACRE-only?

OA. I believe the only reason Arma 2 may be required for anything is that OA is a stand-alone mod of Arma 2 but doesn't include "everything" so Arma2 is more than less a crate of models,textures and scripts..with a reference manual. Though I've never used one, perhaps looking into a RAMDisk-type of program could help. It'll basically load the game into your System Ram and try not to use your hard drive. Ram being faster, more-direct connection than hard drive 'should' speed-up your game.

Sounds like the program (DayZ Commander) may not have 'premission' to read/open/write to the .pbo (ensure you run CO, DayZ Commander and Steam as admin. Right Click<Properties<Compatibilty<Priviledge Level<Check run as Admin) An other possiblity may be that the beta exe is not installed, or installed improperly (not your fault, software is goofy like that ;) ) and the .pbo are 'locked' by the original .exe. When you join a server and get the can not open x.pbo. You click "ok" and game shuts-down? I ask because, at times, I get cant find/open x file. I disregard, click ok and continue loading into game. Single player gives same issues? (you may need to goto "Expansions" ingame and unselect all the expansions BUT "beta" and/or "expansion folder". See if single player will 'boot-up' with the beta .exe. If you do not have a beat or expansion "Add On" Go back to the link I posted and do the beta install fron Step 1 again :blush: Make sure you set your Add-on Folders correctly. Non Steam & Steam

Have you tried the guide . Section 7 Had similar issues last week. Cant remember 100% if it was this that fixed it. More-than-less fail-safe method. One step at a time! Install A2&updates>play. Same for AO. Then install whatever broswer you want (DayZ Commander, Play withSix..or "F" the broswer, nab the IP from the Private Hive Listing and join from within Arma CO) IMPORTANT. If you either browser. Set your mod folders up correctly (Refer to the Guide. Section 4) for either DayZ Commander, Play withSix. Because if you dont, you'll have multiply copies of each map/mod...never in the right spot.) Actually I dont follow that to the letter. I've made a folder named extensions in my main OA directory where all my @ModAddOns go :thumbsup:

Yeah..about that. Laptop+XP=too frickin' old for anything :huh: :o :blush: I'll give it a go-though. -winxp -noCB -cpuCount=1 -exThreads=0 If you use Steam, Right click the icon from library<properties<launch options If you use a non-Steam copy, I'd suggest to use either DayZ Commander or Play withSix and enter these launch options from within there. (I know that Play withSix has all options available to check/uncheck different launch options) I do have a few more aces but I like to keep my sleeves loaded (like f'n spiderman with sticky-responses :lol: )
